use rdimport set endate offset
viz

#! /bin/bash
#download this is parliament 
dateline=$(date +%d%m%y)
monthline=$(date +%y%m)
wget -O /home/rd/dropbox/parliament_today_$dateline.mp3
http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/audio/$monthline/parliament_today_
$dateline.mp3
# cart it
rdimport --verbose --normalization-level=-13 --to-cart=2719
--delete-cuts --create-enddate-offset=1
FEATURE  /home/rd/dropbox/parliament_today_$dateline.mp3

# if there is none the endate feature means nothing plays


that one runs tues-thurs each evening at 5 and plays at 10pm and the
following 7am

this one runs every friday here, deletes the safety copy held locally,
and plays on Sunday.

 #! /bin/bash
#download the week in parliament 
#first get rid of last weeks
lastweeksdate=$(date --date='7days ago' +%d%m%y)
rm -f /home/rd/dropbox/week_in_parliament_$lastweeksdate.mp3
#now set up this weeks
dateline=$(date +%d%m%y)
directory=$(date +%y%m)
wget -O /home/rd/dropbox/week_in_parliament_$dateline.mp3
http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/audio/$directory/week_in_parliament_
$dateline.mp3
# cart it
rdimport --verbose --normalization-level=-13 --to-cart=2710
--delete-cuts --create-enddate-offset=5
FEATURE  /home/rd/dropbox/week_in_parliament_for_$dateline.mp3

run the script as a cron 

when parliament is in recess and the reports dry up the feature shows up
in the log as a red cart and RD skips through it. bloody brilliant!

every feature here is acquired and date flagged like this using
rdimport, oh there may be a couple run from inside RD looking for stuff
contributors ftp into the dropbox with date offsets set up in the
rdadmin>dropbox gui  but you'll get the idea from the scripts.

Our Parliament provides a series of audio reports foc which is a great
service. We get speeches by our local MP on request. They will run
around and get stuff. Great resource and hardly used.

Hope the scripts help

Robert
